Oct 12, 2022

WWE Reportedly Interested in Matt Taven

As noted before, Matt Taven’s contract with Impact Wrestling expired this past weekend.

Dave Meltzer reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources stated that WWE officials are currently interested in potentially signing Taven to an official contract with the company. Meltzer reported that it is currently not known if WWE’s interest is for their main roster or NXT developmental brand.

Besides WWE, Meltzer speculated that New Japan Pro Wrestling might also be currently interested in Taven, as well as Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis because of their past history with the company.

Aliyah Injury Status Update

As noted before, Aliyah has been out of action for WWE since this past September due to an unknown injury.

Aliyah recently provided an injury update on Instagram revealing that she had suffered a rib and AC sprain injuries.

It’s been a month so here I go straight from the horses mouth:
I have to say my last match was probably one of my most favorite. And I would like to thank my tag partner Raquel and Damage CTRL And everyone involved. Yes I got injured mid match, however I have this overwhelming gratitude towards the incident because I felt like it pulled out a version of me that I never even knew existed. “Keep going!” I remember thinking. “I never get opportunities like this one” another voice in my head screamed. So idc I’m going to keep going and keep showing out. The emotions and energy I was feeling in the moment truly lit me up inside and I felt INDESTRUCTIBLE in that moment (yes, with an elevated first rib and ac sprain and all.)
I am very grateful to get to do what I do and I hope my passion and efforts transcended thru your television screen.
I don’t know what the future holds or when I’ll be back. But I just want to say thank you for everyone that has reached out. I really can’t wait to get back in the ring. —
